In your opinion are they better and more driver friendly than the UK ones.Is there a list to obtain where the Scotish stops are and any recomendations and tips for the best one.I have found the food better and staff helpful and cheerful.And pull the curtains open in the morning to see a rolling glen or river.Beats the office job.

Unfortunately it is. 
Hopefully one day it wonât be. 
the way some go on - youâd swear they were ashamed to be British 
having said that, I think weâre all heading that way
Getting political now.I did a post why brits were rubbish at winning in sports,i thought Andy Murray was english and told to do research,i did not kill anyone.! 
sorry Toby, was just an observation. Unfortunately Iâve never had the pleasure (I always seem to get sent south but never been further north than york) would love a few nights up there in a truck though.
Darkseeker,i wasnt aiming comments about you,my line of thinking,was the Scottish issue is sensitive with some tn users.Was diving in the Scapa Flow to see the sunk german navy war fleet,the "high tea"in the afternoon,was a large tray of homemade cakes/biscuits,about a foot tall of food,we could not eat the evening meal.One diver forgot to turn his air tap on,in effect in the pre-dive buddy safety check his tap was turned off then in error.He was gasping at 40 metres in the dark.The more advanced went inside the ships with safety lines,but the silt can leave you with no viz,then the air runs out,panicking to get out.Not for the faint hearted,the rest were nitrox divers so,had more breathing time.
what does that have to do with truck stops?
Most Scottish Truckstops are cheaper to park and cheaper food, Its also strange that as a whole there is a lack of Truckstops in the UK yet the stretch between Carlisle and Glasgow has at least 7 !!
You dont have to worry too much about running over your driving time aswell because there is always enough room to park and you are always within 15mins of the next Truckstop. I do prefer heading North.
Everyone is a bit more chilled out which suits me perfectly.

Maybe not so? I think there was a time long ago when scots nationalists where seen as aliens and the issue of âindependanceâ was almost seen as a âif youâre not with us then youâre against us issueâ. Nowadays these issues are generally seen as a benefit to all seperate countries , i.e to have a voice to say in their own issues. These findings/polls have been reported recently in the mainstream media.
Anyway, Scottish truckstops !! Yes in general (i think) they are better, and certainley cheaper and thereâs more room. I also reckon the women serving breakfasts at Lesmahago truckstop could work the doors on any Liverpool nightclub !! 
It is very generally more relaxed up there as they donât suffer the same rush for space and time as say for example âŚEssex does. Strathcaro services, lorry park whatever you wanna call it has to rank as abysmal, but seeing as there is nowt else around there you sort of welcome it when youâre up there. Titan truckstop in Essex is probably brilliant, i wouldnât know, every time iâve been there its been full and iâve been turned away and couldnât get in.
Still the notion of it being better up north holds true with me, whether it is actually true or not. And i canât get out of my head the image of someone down south eating a âprime aberdeen angusâ steak that was produced from some scabby old cow from a brick strewn field alongside the A90 with an industrial estate as a backdrop !!! You canât beat the Glens !!!

Quite right Andy. Those east coast fairies wouldnât stand a chance against a Glaswegian
driving in scotland a lot as part of my job,i honestly think there is not enough.granted,there a quite a few up the "74,but the rest of scotland i think is seriously lacking in decent truckstops.up the a9 to inverness you are limited,as going up the east side.yes you have dundee and stracathro,but they arent âgreatâ.the top of scotland is also poor,and the central belt.shame really.
ps it tend to favour the edinburgh side more than glasgow,they are more polite!..they shake your hand before mugging you. (please dont take that as a personal insult,im joking).
